Not sure if it's an issue with NVIDIA compatibility or Windows 10, but I'm running into some major bugs with Mass Effect that I never had on AMD/7. I wasted a ton of time yesterday trying to solve an issue where certain models turned completely black and almost went voxel that was only fixable by completely disabling lighting and then lost 45 minutes of progress when the collision momentarily went out and I got stuck behind a guardrail.

I'd only encountered one major glitch in the 115 hours I'd played of this game before (and that was down to playing below min specs), so it's surprising to see two so close together.

So, unlike almost all of the other games on that list, Mass Effect wasn't there because I ever had much doubt it was as good as I remembered. It was mostly there because some outlets suggested that Andromeda wasn't actually as much of a step down from the original trilogy as most people thought, and that those games were benefiting from nostalgia. Didn't particularly buy it, but figured I could give it a fair shake since I haven't touched any of them for just over four years.

Anyway, I think the best summary of my conclusion is that, despite claiming that I'd put the rest of the trilogy on my challenge list in sequence, there is absolutely no way I'm waiting that long to keep playing.

Neither did I get around to finishing any others on my list. Really close though. Like aggravatingly close. like I'm still stuck on the final form of Cackletta in Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga. That's like reading a book but you can't get past the last page because suddenly the language changed.

However, I'm greatly modifying my list. You see, I plan on finally moving out next year. As a result, I can only carry so many games with me. I plan on leaving at home the games I mostly spent time with as a child or that I bought and played before I was 25. It's this weird thing I'm doing where I'm organizing things from pre-25 years old to post-25 years old. So basically, I'm removing all the video games from my backlog that I will be taking with me when I move out.

PSP:
Star Ocean: The First Departure
Lunar: Silver Star Harmony
Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops
Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core
Ys I & II Collection (before I just put down Ys II but since I left this game alone for so long I want to just replay both games)
Ultimate Ghosts ‘n Goblins
Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles (Didn't unlock many things or get the true ending - something like that)

PS:
Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation
Chrono Cross

PS2:
Final Fantasy X-2
Final Fantasy XII
Tales of the Abyss
.hack Infection
Kingdom Hearts
Suikoden IV
Spy Fiction (taking it with me but I had already started it so I may as well finish)
Tak and the Power of Juju

PS3:
Bayonetta (still taking this with me when I move out but it's a relatively quick game to finish compared to everything else I have)
Final Fantasy XIII-2 (haha idk wtf is going on in this game anymore)
Star Ocean IV: The Last Hope
Dark Souls
Tales of Xillia
L.A. Noire
White Knight Chronicles (Oh God, but this game is horrendous. I've been thinking about actually selling this.. . .Maybe. I want to finish it but then when I play it, I want to slip into a coma.)

XBox:
Halo 2
Deus Ex: Invisible War
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell

I am LITERALLY on the verge of finishing Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. By that I mean I'm still stuck on Cackletta's final form.
I am also VERY CLOSE to finishing Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. As such, I didn't bother to put those up here.
